Robert Worth uses local, selectively-harvested eastern hardwoods and western red cedar to craft his dulcimers.

"My dulcimers are made by hand, keeping in mind a reverence for each piece of wood.

"This is a spiritual way of life for me, creating instruments for people to play. I feel I am using my time here on earth wisely when I am doing this. Trees, wood and music are necessary things, and all three are very important to me.
